Nicolae was sure he wasn't the first person to do this, but he was sure he was the one to make this a record. Nicolae had been sliding down the banister from the 7th floor and was catching every banister in a continous wave that was until the stairs moved and the banisters suddenly ended.
Nic went flying off the banister and like a bad cartoon went flying into the wall legs spread and arms out. He hit the wall and for a moment he stayed there before falling flat on his back on the ground.
"Man!"

Arianna had been waiting on the fourth floor landing for the stairs to return so she could head back up to the tower. Her nose had been caught in one of her books, carefully making sure none of her drawings or other writings were missing and barely missed being hit by the boy. She didn't need that happening again.
"You know..." Arianna paused merely a foot from where the boy had landed and stared down at him curiously, trying hard not to laugh. "It's better to use the NON-moving stairs for sliding."

Nicolae looked up at two Ari's. He hadn't met them yet, but they were of asian decent and really pretty though he could see their face was pulling into a smile. He was sure he just made a fool of himself. "Wait, there are stairs that don't move here? How can you tell the difference?" Nic groaned rubbing his head. He wasn't even sure he was going to get up.

"You learn," replied one of the twins ( ) as both lifted their shoulders in a shrug. Two arms reached down to help the boy up, if he could find the real one. "There some that move on certain days of the week or hours of the day even. It just takes a while to figure out their system."

Nic reached for an arm, but his hand went through it. He found another one and was able to grasp that and let her help him up. "Thanks." Nic shook his head and it cleared showing only one Ari. "Awwwn! No twins!"

"Nope," Arianna shook her head and chuckled. She looked the boy over, somewhat hoping he didn't notice. There weren't many dark-skinned kids around. This one might be the first that she knew of. "I think most would say one of me is more than enough to handle. I don't know what they'd do with two."

"One of you is more than enough? What is that suppose to mean?" Nic didn't know what to say. She was really pretty and two of her would have been really freaking sweet to him. "Oh, I'm Nicolae." Nic held out his hand to give her dap.

"I'll let you find that out yourself," Arianna replied with a small smirk. She decided a while back that she shouldn't give away too much about herself on a first meeting. The longer it took for him to get to know her, the longer they could be friends.
"My name is Arianna," she offered, holding her hand out though she didn't know what a dap was.

{lol}
Nic smiled liking the challenge. So far he had met only one guy and was beginning to wonder why Drew thought it would be so hard to meet girls. He met 3 so far. "Was sup?" Nic grabbed her hand and slid his hand forward palm to palm then backward with his fingers still connected to her fingers than pushed her hand down with his snapping when he was threw. "Man does anyone know how to at least pound here?" Nic chuckled to himself.

"This is actually the first time I've seen anyone pound. This...was pounding, right?" Arianna questioned motioning to their hands. She sometimes assumed things that weren't right, which could cause problems. Fortunately, only her ego could suffer here.
"I haven't heard the expression since I was six," she explained, giving a shrug. "A little too young to figure it out, you know?"

Nic shook his head. "Naw, what we did was a handshake or dap. Pound is where I close my fist. You close yours." Nic took his hand and wrapped it around Ari's closing her hand and making it into a fist. "Then we just knock it together like thus." Nic pushed his fist into Ari's fist. "That's pound. So what six year old uses the word pound?" In his hood six year olds knew worse, but he was curious about this girl.

"One who lived on the outskirts of Detroit for a few months," Arianna replied. Now that she knew what a pound was, she knocked her fist against the boy's a few more times before tucking it in her pocket. If she did it too much, she was certain one of them would wind up with a red hand.

"Fo sho! Detroit! Near 8 mile like that M&M cat? How was life like there? I heard it's real hard out there. How'd you end up here?" Nic watched her pound his fist a few more times and he began to wonder if he had the right impression of her.

"Naw," Arianna replied, shaking her head slightly. Just talking to this kid brought back memories she thought she'd forgotten. It was nice to remember some of the better times she'd had when she was younger. "On the other side, actually. Still a bit rough, but nowhere near all the stuff we'd see going on down that area when we watched the news."
"As for how I got here?" the girl shrugged and, motioning to the boy, settled down on the floor, legs crossed in front of her and back against the wall. "Well, to put it short, I was adopted by a nice couple from London."

Nic slide against the wall and just as his butt hit the ground she threw a bomb at him. She was adopted. He had no clue. There was an accent, but he thought that was all the years of her being here taking over her ways of talking. "Oh, I didn't know. Life must have been nice. Do you ...have you ever met your uh, what's that word birth family?"
